    The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 23, issued a Special Notice to announce its intent to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to GE Precision Healthcare LLC for GE Imaging Equipment Maintenance & Service. This action is justified under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR 13.106-1(b), citing GE Precision Healthcare as the only authorized vendor for their proprietary equipment. The NAICS code is 811210 and the product/service code is J065. While not a solicitation, interested vendors capable of providing these services are invited to submit capability statements within ten calendar days of the notice's publication to cameron.rick@va.gov.

    VHA_Maintenance_JEFO GE Healthcare_FINAL.pdf
    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Acquisition Center (NAC) is issuing a Class Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) for sole source delivery orders to GE Healthcare. This JEFO, under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B), covers annual service maintenance agreements (SMAs) for existing GE Healthcare Radiology and Imaging Systems at VHA medical facilities until February 17, 2027. The rationale for sole-sourcing is that GE Healthcare's systems are proprietary, and only the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) can perform maintenance to ensure equipment integrity and avoid third-party damage. The estimated value of individual SMAs ranges from $50K to $1M. This approach reduces administrative burden for VHA local contracting offices and ensures continuous patient care. While no immediate actions can overcome this barrier, the VA will continue market research for future competition opportunities.
